Zinc induced apoptosis in HEP-2 cancer cells: the role of oxidative stress and mitochondria 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Induction of apoptosis by zinc sulfate was investigated during 96 h exposure on the cancer Hep-2 cell line. During 48 h of exposure, zinc translocated into mitochondria and stimulated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), affected cellular GSH management and induced moderate activation of p53 and dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential. In Zn-exposed cells, mitochondria released cytochrome c and AIF, whose translocation to the cytoplasm or the nucleus coincided with the activation of apoptosis. The use of various pharmacological inhibitors inhibiting particular apoptotic targets (antioxidants such as N-acetyl-cysteine and coenzyme Q, the caspase inhibitors z-DEVD-fmk and z-VAD-fmk, cyclosporin A and bonkgrekic acid) proved that Zn acts both directly and indirectly on mitochondria and observed apoptosis is executed by caspase-dependent and caspase-independent pathways. 相似文献

Zinc dyshomeostasis can induce cell death. However, the mechanisms involved have not been fully elucidated in prostate cancer (PCa) cells, which differ dramatically from normal cells in their zinc handling ability. Here, we studied the effects of the ionophore Zn-pyrithione (ZP) and the chelator N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (TPEN). Both compounds induced cell death at micromolar concentrations when incubated with androgen-dependent (LNCaP), androgen-independent (PC3, DU145) and androgen-sensitive (C4-2) PCa cell-lines. Compared to PCa cells, RWPE1 prostate epithelial cells were less sensitive to ZP and more sensitive to TPEN, but total cellular zinc levels were changed similarly. ZnSO4 enhanced the toxicity of ZP, but inhibited the effects of TPEN as expected. The morphological/biochemical responses to ZP and TPEN differed. ZP decreased ATP levels and stimulated ERK, AKT and PKC phosphorylation. DNA laddering was observed only at low doses of ZP but all doses of TPEN. TPEN activated caspase 3/7 and induced PARP-cleavage, DNA-fragmentation, ROS-formation and apoptotic bodies. PKC and ERK-pathway inhibitors, and antioxidants protected against ZP-induced but not TPEN-induced death. Inhibitors of MPTP-opening protected both. Cell death in response to TPEN (but not ZP) was diminished by a calpain inhibitor and largely prevented by a caspase 3 inhibitor. Overall, the results indicated primarily a necrotic cell death for ZP and an apoptotic cell death for TPEN. The enhanced sensitivity of PCa cells to ZP and the apparent ability of ZP and TPEN to kill quiescent and rapidly dividing cells in a p53-independent manner suggest that ZP/TPEN might be used to develop adjunct treatments for PCa. 相似文献

A synthetic retinoid, CD437, has been shown to exert potent anti-tumor activity against various types of cancer cell lines, regardless of their sensitivities to natural retinoids. We herein demonstrate that CD437 induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, including the up-regulation of CHOP, BIP and GADD34 mRNA through ER stress transducer (PERK and IRE1α) activation in an ovarian adenocarcinoma cell line, SKOV3. It was also shown that CD437 induced the CHOP and GADD34 expressions in another four ovarian adenocarcinoma cell lines, indicating that CD437 functions as an ER stress inducer in these cell lines. Moreover, the siRNA-mediated knockdown of inducible CHOP expression prevented the cytotoxic effect of CD437. These results suggest that ER stress plays an important role in the mechanism by which CD437 induces apoptosis in ovarian adenocarcinoma cells. 相似文献

Acrolein is a highly reactive, α,β-unsaturated aldehyde that is an omnipresent environmental pollutant. Humans are exposed to acrolein in food, vapors of overheated cooking oil, cigarette smoke and by combustion of organic products. Acrolein is a toxic by-product of lipid peroxidation resulting from oxidative stress, which is implicated in pulmonary, cardiac and neurodegenerative diseases. Low dose exposure to toxic compounds often leads to adaptive responses. If the adaptive response does not counteract the adverse exposure, death processes such as apoptosis will eliminate the cell. This study investigates the activation of antiapoptosis survival factors in relation to the induction of cell death by apoptosis, following exposure to low doses of acrolein, in A549 human lung cells. Exposure to acrolein (<15 μM, 30 min) activated the survival factor AKT, which led to phosphorylation of Bad and induction of antiapoptosis proteins cIAP1/2. Acrolein (10–50 μM, 30–60 min) increased reactive oxygen species and caused mitochondrial membrane hyperpolarisation. Inhibition by the antioxidants catalase, polyethylene glycol-catalase, sodium pyruvate and MnTBAP showed that acrolein-induced reactive oxygen species were responsible for mitochondrial membrane hyperpolarisation. Acrolein (3–27 μM, 30–60 min) activated early stage processes in the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis, such as Bax translocation to mitochondria, cytochrome c release, caspase-9 activation, and translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor to the nucleus. Acrolein (10–50 μM) triggered later stage processes such as activation of caspases-3, -7 and -6, phosphatidylserine externalization and cleavage of poly(ADP)ribose polymerase after longer times (2 h). These events were inhibited by polyethylene glycol-catalase, showing that apoptosis was mediated by overproduction of reactive oxygen species by acrolein. The novel findings show that antiapoptosis processes dominate at low dose (<15 μM)/shorter exposure times to acrolein, whereas proapoptotic processes dominate at higher dose (10–50 μM)/longer exposure times. Acrolein induced apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway that was mediated by reactive oxygen species. 相似文献

Midazolam is a widely used anesthetic of the benzodiazepine class that has shown cytotoxicity and apoptosisinducing activity in neuronal cells and lymphocytes. This study aims to evaluate the effect of midazolam on growth of K562 human leukemia cells and HT29 colon cancer cells. The in vivo effect of midazolam was investigated in BALB/c-nu mice bearing K562 and HT29 cells human tumor xenografts. The results show that midazolam decreased the viability of K562 and HT29 cells by inducing apoptosis and S phase cell-cycle arrest in a concentration-dependent manner. Midazolam activated caspase-9, capspase-3 and PARP indicating induction of the mitochondrial intrinsic pathway of apoptosis. Midazolam lowered mitochondrial membrane potential and increased apoptotic DNA fragmentation. Midazolam showed reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activity through inhibition of NADPH oxidase 2 (Nox2) enzyme activity in K562 cells. Midazolam caused inhibition of pERK1/2 signaling which led to inhibition of the anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-XL and XIAP and phosphorylation activation of the pro-apoptotic protein Bid. Midazolam inhibited growth of HT29 tumors in xenograft mice. Collectively our results demonstrate that midazolam caused growth inhibition of cancer cells via activation of the mitochondrial intrinsic pathway of apoptosis and inhibited HT29 tumor growth in xenograft mice. The mechanism underlying these effects of midazolam might be suppression of ROS production leading to modulation of apoptosis and growth regulatory proteins. These findings present possible clinical implications of midazolam as an anesthetic to relieve pain during in vivo anticancer drug delivery and to enhance anticancer efficacy through its ROS-scavenging and pro-apoptotic properties. 相似文献

Bcl-2-family proteins and the role of mitochondria in apoptosis 总被引:31,自引:0,他引:31
Mitochondria are central to many forms of cell death, usually via the release of pro-apoptotic proteins from the mitochondrial intermembrane space. Some intermembrane space proteins, including cytochrome c, Smac/DIABLO, and Omi/Htra2, can induce or enhance caspase activation, whereas others, such as AIF and endonuclease G, might act in a caspase-independent manner. Intermembrane space protein release is often regulated by Bcl-2-family proteins. Recent evidence suggests that pro-apoptotic members of this family, by themselves, can permeabilize the outer mitochondrial membrane without otherwise damaging mitochondria. Mitochondria can contribute to cell death in other ways. For example, they can respond to calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum by undergoing the mitochondrial permeability transition, which in turn causes outer membrane rupture and the release of intermembrane space proteins. Bcl-2-family proteins can influence the levels of releasable Ca(2+) in the endoplasmic reticulum, and thus determine whether the released Ca(2+) is sufficient to overload mitochondria and induce cell death. 相似文献

Cadmium-induced cellular toxicity has been related to necrosis and/or caspase-dependent apoptosis. In the present study, we show that, on cadmium exposure, the human hepatocarcinoma Hep3B cells undergo caspase-independent apoptosis associated with nuclear translocation of endonuclease G and apoptosis-inducing factor, two mitochondrial apoptogenic proteins. Release of these proteins is likely related to calcium-induced alteration of mitochondrial homeostasis. Indeed, it was first preceded by a rapid and sustained increase in cytoplasmic calcium and then by a coincident loss in mitochondrial membrane potential and production of reactive oxygen species. Bapta-AM (acetoxymethyl ester of 5, 5′-dimethyl-bis (o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid), a calcium chelator, blocked all these events and prevented cadmium-induced apoptosis. Production of reactive oxygen species was inhibited by ruthenium red and rotenone, two mitochondrial inhibitors, and by diphenyleneiodonium, a flavoprotein inhibitor, which also prevented both loss in mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptosis. In addition, Bapta-AM and diphenyleneiodonium were found to almost totally block decreased expression of the mitochondrial anti-apoptotic nuclear factor-κB-regulated bcl-xL protein in cadmium-treated cells. Taken together, our results show that cadmium induces Hep3B cells apoptosis mainly by calcium- and oxidative stress-related impairment of mitochondria, which probably favors release of apoptosis-inducing factor and endonuclease G. 相似文献

Alpha-tocopheryl succinate (alpha-TOS), a redox-inactive analog of vitamin E, induces cell cycle arrest, differentiation, and triggers apoptosis. We examined the ability of alpha-TOS to induce cytostasis and/or apoptosis in two human osteosarcoma cell lines, which carry wild-type pRb but differ in the p53 status. In the wt-p53 cells, alpha-TOS induced apoptosis, which was associated with p53 activation and enhanced E2F1 expression. Mutant p53 cells failed to undergo apoptosis when challenged with alpha-TOS. The cell growth arrest after alpha-TOS treatment was associated with a reduced expression of E2F1. Knocking down E2F1 rendered the alpha-TOS-sensitive cells rather resistant to the apoptotic stimulus inducing a marked and prolonged cell growth arrest. We conclude that alpha-TOS induces cell growth arrest or apoptosis involving E2F1. 相似文献

The effect of external zinc supplementation (10 and 35 micromol) on cell proliferation and mitogenic signaling of Hep-2 tumor cells was examined during 72 h of treatment. Zinc levels were manipulated by using zinc-free cultivation medium with or without addition of zinc ions. Proliferation of Hep-2 cells exposed to zinc-free medium decreased in a time-dependent manner and corresponded to decreasing intracellular zinc content. Hep-2 cells accumulated in G(0)/G(1) phase, showed reduced abundance of AKT and NF-kappaB as well as of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL proteins. Zinc supplied to Hep-2 cells maintained in the presence of zinc-free medium stimulated their proliferation as well as mitogenic signaling which paralleled increasing intracellular zinc content. In zinc-exposed Hep-2 cells, several changes in various mitogenic signaling pathways were noted such as enhanced expression of p53, AKT and MAP kinases, NF-kappaB and increased DNA binding of AP-1 family. Also, supplementation with zinc of Hep-2 cells resulted in the suppression of key apoptotic molecules such as Bax protein and increased expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL proteins. Since only the highest supplied zinc concentration (35 micromol) induced oxidative stress, it is reasoned that the observed activation of pro-survival signaling occurs both directly and indirectly. These data show that zinc may stimulate growth and proliferation of some tumor cells by a combination of internal mechanisms with a varying contribution of external signaling pathways too. 相似文献

Within the central nervous system and under normal conditions, nitric oxide (NO) is an important physiological signaling molecule. When produced in large excess, NO also displays neurotoxicity. In our previous report, we have demonstrated that the exposure of neuronal cells to NO donors induced apoptotic cell death, while pretreatment with free radical scavengers L-ascorbic acid 2-[3, 4-dihydro-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2-(4,8, 12-trimethyltridecyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-6-yl-hydrogen phosphate] potassium salt (EPC-K1) or superoxide dismutase attenuated apoptosis effectively, suggesting that reactive oxygen species (ROS) may be involved in the cascade of events leading to apoptosis. In the present investigation, we directly studied the kinetic generation of ROS in NO-treated neuronal cells by flow cytometry using 2', 7'-dichloro-fluorescein diacetate and dihydrorhodamine 123 as redox-sensitive fluorescence probes. The results indicated that exposure of cerebellar granule cells to the NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) induced oxidative stress, which was characterized by the accumulation of cytosolic and mitochondrial ROS, the increase in the extracellular hydrogen peroxide level, and the formation of lipid peroxidation products. SNAP treatment also induced apoptotic cell death as confirmed by the formation of cytosolic mono- and oligonucleosomes. Pretreating cells with the novel antioxidant EPC-K1 effectively prevented oxidative stress induced by SNAP, and attenuated cells from apoptosis. 相似文献

2-Hydroxycinnamaldehyde (HCA) and curcumin have been reported to have antitumor effects against various human tumor cells in vitro and in vivo by generation of ROS. Aldehyde-free HCA analogs were synthesized based on the structure of curcumin, which we have called 2-hydroxycurcuminoids. The hydroxyl group of curcuminoids enhances the ability to generate ROS. 2-Hydroxycurcuminoid (HCC-7) strongly inhibited the growth of SW620 colon tumor cells with a GI50 value of 7 μM, while the parent compounds, HCA and curcumin, displayed GI50 values of 12 and 30 μM, respectively. HCC-7 was found to induce apoptosis through the reactive oxygen species-mitochondria pathway and cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase. 相似文献

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) comprise a class of lipids with important structural and signaling functions. Synthesized from ceramide in the Golgi, they are subsequently distributed to different compartments, most predominantly in the plasma membrane where they integrate signaling platforms. A recently characterized trafficking of ganglioside GD3 (GD3), a GSLs with two sialic-acid residues, to mitochondria has revealed a novel function of this lipid as a death effector. In addition to the interaction of GD3 with mitochondria recruiting these organelles to apoptotic pathways, GD3 disables survival paths dependent on NF-kappaB, thus favoring the balance towards cell death. The present review gathers the evidence documenting this emerging function of GSLs in cell death and their involvement in pathological states. 相似文献

Background
The aim of this study is to determine anti-cancer effect of Icariside II purified from the root of Epimedium koreanum Nakai on human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell line U937.Methodology/Principal Findings
Icariside II blocked the growth U937 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In this anti-proliferation process, this herb compound rendered the cells susceptible to apoptosis, manifested by enhanced accumulation of sub-G1 cell population and increased the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)-positive cells. Icariside II was able to activate caspase-3 and cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in a time-dependent manner. Concurrently, the anti-apoptotic proteins, such as bcl-xL and survivin in U937 cells, were downregulated by Icariside II. In addition, Icariside II could inhibit STAT3 phosphorylation and function and subsequently suppress the activation of Janus activated kinase 2 (JAK2), the upstream activators of STAT3, in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Icariside II also enhanced the expression of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) SH2 domain-containing phosphatase (SHP)-1, and the addition of sodium pervanadate (a PTP inhibitor) prevented Icariside II-induced apoptosis as well as STAT3 inactivation in STAT3 positive U937 cells. Furthermore, silencing SHP-1 using its specific siRNA significantly blocked STAT3 inactivation and apoptosis induced by Icariside II in U937 cells.Conclusions/Significance
Our results demonstrated that via targeting STAT3-related signaling, Icariside II sensitizes U937 cells to apoptosis and perhaps serves as a potent chemotherapeutic agent for AML. 相似文献17.
Extracellular NAD(+) induces calcium signaling and apoptosis in human osteoblastic cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

ADP-ribosyl cyclase/CD38 is a bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes at its ectocellular domain the synthesis from NAD(+) (cyclase) and the hydrolysis (hydrolase) of the calcium-mobilizing second messenger cyclic ADP ribose (cADPR). Furthermore, CD38 mediates cADPR influx inside a number of cells, thereby inducing Ca(2+) mobilization. Intracellularly, cADPR releases Ca(2+) from ryanodine-sensitive pools, thus activating several Ca(2+)-dependent functions. Among these, the inhibition of osteoclastic-mediated bone resorption has been demonstrated. We found that HOBIT human osteoblastic cells display ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity and we examined the effects of CD38 stimulation on osteoblasts function. Extracellular NAD(+) induced elevation of cytosolic calcium due to both Ca(2+) influx from the extracellular medium and Ca(2+) release from ryanodine-sensitive intracellular stores. Culturing these cells in the presence of NAD(+) caused a complete growth arrest with a time-dependent decrease of cell number and the appearance of apoptotic nuclei. The first changes could be observed after 24 h of treatment and became fully evident after 72-96 h. We propose a role of extracellular NAD(+) in bone homeostatic control. 相似文献

Zinc inhibition of cellular energy production: implications for mitochondria and neurodegeneration 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
An increasing body of evidence suggests that high intracellular free zinc promotes neuronal death by inhibiting cellular energy production. A number of targets have been postulated, including complexes of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, components of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and enzymes of glycolysis. Consequences of cellular zinc overload may include increased cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, and reduced cellular ATP levels. Additionally, zinc toxicity might involve zinc uptake by mitochondria and zinc induction of mitochondrial permeability transition. The present review discusses these processes with special emphasis on their potential involvement in brain injury. 相似文献

Hyperglycemia induces apoptosis and p53 mobilization to mitochondria in RINm5F cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ortega-Camarillo C Guzmán-Grenfell AM García-Macedo R Rosales-Torres AM Avalos-Rodríguez A Durán-Reyes G Medina-Navarro R Cruz M Díaz-Flores M Kumate J 《Molecular and cellular biochemistry》2006,281(1-2):163-171
The mechanisms related to hyperglycemia-induced pancreatic β-cell apoptosis are poorly defined. Rat insulin-producing cells
(RINm5F) cultured in high glucose concentrations (30 mM) showed increased apoptosis and protein p53 translocation to mitochondria.
In addition, hyperglycemia induced both the disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential (Δ < eqid1 > m), and an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS), as shown by fluorescence changes of JC-1 and dichlorodihydrofluorescein-diacetate
(DCDHF-DA), respectively. The increased intracellular ROS by high glucose exposure was blunted by mitochondrial-function and
NADPH-oxidase inhibitors. We postulate that the concomitant mobilization of p53 protein to the mitochondria and the subsequent
changes on the Δ < eqid2 > m, lead to an important pancreatic β-cell apoptosis mechanism induced by oxidative stress caused by hyperglycemia.
